Brett Favre is a risk-taker, but many of his league-high tying 11 interceptions are simply unforced errors. He has repeatedly thrown into double coverage, and none of his three picks Sunday -- and even the one Derrick Johnson dropped but would have returned for a touchdown -- represented good decisions.

Second-year WR Chansi Stuckey was double-covered on the play and cut short his route. Favre's floater over the middle, thrown while backpedaling, was caught by Chiefs CB Brandon Flowers and returned for a 91-yard touchdown. Favre is a future Hall of Famer, but there have been more than enough examples this season that his arm is producing more risk than reward.

LOOKING FORWARD 

Coach Eric Mangini and offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer continue to go against the grain. The Jets threw the ball 40 times and had just 24 runs Sunday against the Chiefs, who entered with the league's worst rush defense.

This week, the Jets get a crack at Bills CB Terrence McGee, who, playing with a sprained knee, gave up seven catches for 175 yards to Dolphins WR Ted Ginn Jr. -- a receiver not nearly as skilled as either Laveranues Coles or Jerricho Cotchery. Another major factor the Jets should take into consideration when putting together this week's game plan: Massive DT Marcus Stroud and MLB Paul Posluszny, who will make running up the middle an issue. 

LOOK AT THEM 

Bills WR Lee Evans vs. Jets CB Darrelle Revis 

The Jets have routinely had trouble with Evans (31 catches, 637 yards, three TDs), who has four touchdowns in eight career games against them. That includes an 85-yard backbreaker in a 13-3 Bills victory in the Meadowlands last year, on which he outleaped Revis and jogged into the end zone. Earlier in the game, Revis had picked up his first career interception -- and the second-year player has since found teams mostly going away from him. 
